We were walking for punting ride and lets go punting guys offered us free drinks to all four of us since our punting was after 90 minutes. That was the catch line they used for us. At 4:15 pm we caught the boat and we weren’t provided any drink. Plus on requesting to speak to Manager, the manager never came and instead wanted us to travel to them. Nice work guys. Very bad management and not given what was promised. Never using your useless service again.
I had to cancel my punting tour with Let's Go Punting due to a serious medical issue that forced me to cancel my entire planned trip to the UK. What impressed me most was how Tayla in their office handled my cancellation — rather than simply processing it, she proactively reached out to offer me the choice between a full refund or a credit note for a future visit. That kind of thoughtful, customer-first approach is rare and truly appreciated during a difficult time. The warmth and professionalism shown by the Let's Go Punting team has made me eager to experience the River Cam with them when I am able to return to the UK. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Daniel, our country chauffeur, was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable and witty, giving out little nuggets of information about the colleges we passed both on the way out and back. We enjoyed the tour. The punt journey was smooth and well organised. Go for it.

Our guide and punter Marco did a very good job of navigating amongst other punts on the river, providing useful information, and providing a very pleasant experience.
Thank you for your kind words! We will ensure the positive feedback is passed on!
Gemma was an absolute star! She gave us an in-depth tour of all the locations around the river. Filling us in with all the information we never knew. My kids were also fascinated by what they were hearing. Brilliant punter!
We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time on the river with Gemma. Thank you for the 5 stars and kind words - we truly appreciate it!
We thoroughly enjoyed our punt. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly and answered questions. Super dog friendly and really accommodating (we got to Cambridge with a lot of time to spare so they kindly moved us onto an earlier punt and also when I explained my husband was deaf agreed to put us nearer to the tour guide so he could hear the commentary). We really couldn’t have picked a nicer day which added to the overall experience
Thank you for the 5 stars and positive feedback! We will ensure your kind words are passed on to the team, and we are so pleased that you enjoyed your time on the river!
Went on a punt on the Cam today with Ryan as our guide. Lovely, relaxing trip and Ryan was very knowledgeable. Liked that this company had higher seats which made for a more comfortable ride. Great time had by all
Thank you for the 5 stars and positive feedback! We will ensure your kind words are passed on to Ryan!
We had a brilliant time. Said was our Punter and he was lovely. Friendly, informative, chatty and funny! Would definitely do it again. Would recommend booking as it can get busy.
We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time on the river with Asid. Thank you for the 5 stars and kind words - we truly appreciate it!
The views were stunning. Very annoying to sit away from the direction of travel. Also heard about 30% of what the guide was saying. I’d still book again but just lower expectations to literally being pushed around in a boat rather than a tour.
